My Dad’s a straight talking, no nonsense engineer. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out his parenting style.
When I got my first car, a bit of advice, well not so much advice, more instruction, was never let the fuel light come on. If it’s on, means crap in the tank is now being pumped around the system, impacting performance.
That ‘advice’ makes me think about how many times we let our light come on.
